Chapter one
Every butterfly in the world had migrated in my stomach; my cheeks were flushing crimson red as my eyes shone so bright at the screen of my small phone, glaring at the most beautiful wedding dress ever, with joy filling my chest.
"I love this!!" I twirled around in delight, the full energy of excitement ran through my cold body, and my lips twitched into a small smile as I pictured how the wedding dress would look so good on me next week Tuesday, I'm thrilled because I'm getting married to the most popular man, my childhood crush and the one who rule the top most company around the country.
I beamed with joy.
All my dreams were finally coming true, I prayed so hard for this, and I had a huge crush on Alex since I was in grade 8, I was stunned when he asked me out in front of the whole school, I couldn't reject the offer because I loved him so much, my heart pounded so fast like ever before and almost dropped down from it's bottom when he leaned close to me, his eyes raked over me and I swallowed the lump that form at my throat.
"Hey, what's up with those weird smiles?" A meek voice asked from my back, and I flinched with fear; the voice jotted me out of my deep thoughts as I snapped my neck backward, and it was my colleague, Alicia. "I'm good" I replied, my voice dropping in a whisper with a soft smile tugging at the corner of my lips.
She sipped in the coffee in her hand slowly and I observed the way her lips parted slowly.
"Congratulations, I saw your wedding invitation with Mr. Alex," she spoke, with sweetness drenching in her voice, and I gave her a slight nod because we had posted and announced our wedding all over the internet.
"You look so nice together," She added as thousands of butterflies kept fluttering in the pit of my stomach.
Truth be told, I'm so proud of myself because I was able to capture his heart. We worked at the same company, but he had a higher rank than me, and he managed the company so well that everyone could ever think. His family owns the company.
"Thank you so much." I lowered my face a little bit and glued my gaze on the stony floor, feeling uncomfortable, with my cheek flushing red.
She chuckled finding my blush cute and funny.
"You're at work also; please don't lose focus, new bride," she added in a teasing tone, and I nodded with a bright smile on my flickering on my face.
I took in a deep breath because I couldn't wait any longer to see Alex's gorgeous face, his tempting pink lips, and his ice-blue eyes which kept drowning in a sea of lust, my patience was wearing thin but I had no choice than to calm my nerves down, he told me he will be so busy so I decided to give him a little space.
This freaking space is Killing me...
"Gosh, this is so annoying!" I furrowed my brows at the heavy documents in front of me and a soft sigh escaped from my lips. A tired sigh.
My phone buzzed loudly, and I flipped it up. A smirk stretched across my lips when I saw the call was from my best friend.
"I'm at work, what's up with this call?" I demanded, a little bit grumpily.
"You don't need to be harsh; guess what?!?" she almost shattered my eardrum with her scream, and I winced in pain; what the heck has come over her?
My eyes were fighting my mouth for the right word to say but I was betrayed, word refused to come out of it "He is back!!" she exclaimed, and waves of confusion shot through my body as I raised my brow curiously "Who" I Inquired slowly.
"My crush!, Gonzalo" she said calmly and I arched my brow together, in confusion.
"Who is that?" My voice were stuck in my throat and my body got freeze up on a spot when the notification of my mail displayed on top of my phone, my whole mouth widened in shock as my heartbeat increased. "I am sacked." My voice tumbled out in a low tone and was barely audible.
I froze, staring at the email notification, not fully understanding what I was seeing. Sacked? The word echoed in my mind, dull and distant, as if my brain refused to process it. My fingers trembled as I clicked on the email, my eyes darting over the words. Termination of Employment. Effective immediately. The lump in my throat thickened as the letters on the screen blurred.
My heart pounded wildly, leaping up my throat and sending a wave of nervousness through my body. I couldn't breathe.
This couldn't be happening.
Alex wouldn't let this happen. He knew how much I needed this job-how much it meant to me, especially now, with our future together. This must be some mistake.
I tried to swallow, but my throat felt dry, like sandpaper. With shaky hands, I grabbed my phone to call him but stopped myself. He's busy. He'll explain later, won't he?
"What's wrong," Clara asked, worried.
"I have been sacked?!" My voice cracked, and my hand went weak as I bit onto my lower lips with pain and discomfort.
I hung up the call and stood up instantly. Moving on a spot.
Later the day, I motioned myself to his office; my heels clicked the marble floor, echoing around the silent hallway, and the fresh air masked my face as I sucked in the breath of the atmosphere, feeling a bit relaxed.
The neo-light settled down on my skin.
My long blonde hair was bouncing beyond my shoulder, and some strange groan flooded into my ears.
"Shit!! Take it all bitch" My blood started draining from my vein, my face went pale and my legs trembled down without my permission when my head tilted to the direction where the moan was coming from.
It's coming from Alex's office
It was his voice.
His baritone voice and I became unstable
My mouth went dry immediately, anger surged up in my veins my heart heaved with discomfort, and my breath went erratic as my shaky hand found a way to the doorknob.
I twisted it and sauntered in. My skin itched with tension, my legs got frozen up on a spot, and an ocean of tears started rolling out of my eyes.
My ears were filled up with the dirty moan coming out of Alex's mouth, and I watched the way the bitch tongue rolled around the shaft of his cock.
He was so enormous.
The bitch was giving him a wonderful blowjob.
"Shit," he groaned, ruffling his curly dark thick hair, and he shot his hot white paint all over her face, his voice suddenly becoming hoarse.
She devoured his cock as if her life had depended on it.
Could it be that he's been deceiving me just to keep me away from this office? The thought pierced my heart like a dagger, leaving me breathless and reeling in agony.
"Alex," I gasped, as shivers embraced my lips.
I swallowed the only thing left in my throat, and tears slit down my face, blurring my vision.
He shook and flipped up from the office table as his innocent eyes stayed glued on me "What are you doing?" My blood boiled and a soft smile pressed across his lips.
He slowly slid his pants over his waist. His perfect abs.
He took too long to speak as his eyes were busy traveling the road map of my body. "I can explain," he replied, and the woman beside him struggled with her short dress, covering up her big boobs away from my view.
My legs crumbled down like an old abandoned house. "Our wedding is next week," I repeated, but his face softened, and he looked unmoved with tears slipping out of my eyes.
He looked so calm.
"Let's cancel the wedding," his husky voice erupted in the office, heaved with authority and I laughed as if he just cracked a joke. Is he for real now?
The woman rushed out of the office with panic, leaving both of us alone. Giving us the privacy we need. "You must be kidding." Those words felt heavy and bitter, sinking into my heart with a sharp sting.
"What will happen to the people we have invited already? The invitation we post? our parents?" I asked, pouring my gaze on him.
His lips parted slowly, and I was able to detach the word that came out of it; the words sent a pang of hurt to my heart." I don't care," he spattered, leaning towards me; he bent down low to my level, his eyes were fixed on my own.
His finger traveled down my face, his touch scorched against mine, and he squeezed my jaw together, making me wince in pain and my eyes redden with hot tears." It was just a bet!" He clicked his tongue and my heart couldn't stop from hamming against my ribcage.
So, he played me. "What was the sack mail about?"
"Oh! You are sacked. You won't have access to the company hotel anymore, just a night for you to pack out," he snapped out, and it was then I knew my life was completely over; my face was completely stained with hot tears.
I had nowhere to go apart from the company hotel room which Alex had gifted to me on my last year birthday, over the lovely moment has been overshadowed now!
"Wow!" I stood up on my feet and rushed out, letting his next word hang in the cold air.
